Hi Neighbours, Auckland Council is winding up the citywide revaluation of all properties, as a basis for carving up next year's rate's pie. Analysis for Stuff shows cheaper suburbs, especially the south may face higher than average rate rises in July 2022. How will you fare?

The Voices for Freedom leaflet, delivered in the Northcote and Birkenhead areas on the North Shore, included eight points that cast doubt on the safety or efficacy of the vaccine.
Auckland University vaccinologist and associate professor Helen Petousis-Harris recently discredited the leaflet.
Halbert said he got five complaints from locals who had received the leaflet in their mailboxes this week.
“It’s disappointing people are actively trying to spread misinformation around our community and prey on people who are vaccination hesitant already.”
He believed the leaflet had been designed to scaremonger locals and delivered to align with the opening of the North Shore’s first vaccination clinic in the Highbury Shopping Centre on Monday.
“This is a direct action on their behalf to undermine our local vaccine centre and to stop our local people from going in and being immunised.”

I have started a petition to ask Auckland Council to rethink the rates increases. They are very high and are going to ultimately disadvantage our city economically, and have the potential to add to poverty for our most vulnerable.
To make this happen we are going to need every single possible signature and share to gather a large enough voice to be heard.
Would love you support, please sign and share. Let's make our voice heard and challenge our council to make decisions that are better for our community.

Kohimarama resident Mary Trautvetter was house-sitting for friends in Castor Bay on the North Shore on April 14 when her dog, Rocky, was frightened by thunder and ran off.
The little white maltese and lhasa apso cross has been lost ever since.
“I’m just in pieces,” Trautvetter said, adding that Rocky had helped her through some tough life events, including a mental breakdown and a divorce.
She has even consulted with psychic mediums in a desperate attempt for information. Red Beach-based psychic medium Kerry-Marie Callander told Stuff she believes it is possible someone has taken Rocky in.
The person might not be on social media or know that people are looking for the dog, she said, adding that perhaps mainstream media – like the local newspaper – might be the best way to reach them.

As a mostly volunteer-led organisation, our members know first hand the value and impact that a single volunteer can make in our communities. Imagine then how much can be achieved when several volunteers or even an entire street or neighbourhood decide to work together to achieve the same goal!
Whether you plan to coordinate your own volunteer driven activity, take part in one that’s already been setup, participate in National Volunteer Week (20-26 June), or simply show your own volunteers some extra love this month, know that every bit of effort to give back is a priceless investment in all of our futures.

The changes include a simplified road layout, kerb build-outs to slow traffic, and artwork to signal that this is a school area and slow speeds/extra care is needed. These changes have been developed in consultation with the Birkdale Primary School.
Recently a number of residents presented to the Kaipatiki Local Board with concerns about various aspects of the proposal. In response, Auckland Transport has made a couple of minor changes to the design, although I'm aware that there are still concerns from residents. Auckland Transport will be responding during the trial to make design changes on-the-fly if needed.
CONSTRUCTION:
The changes will be constructed overnight (7pm to 6pm) from Monday 31 May to Thursday 3 June. During the construction period, there may be machinery noise, restrictions on parking, and traffic control in place.
TRIAL:
The changes apply to Birkdale Road and Salisbury Road, and also the intersections with Stott Avenue and Bishopgate Street:
* School zone markings and new speed bumps will alert drivers that they are entering a slow speed area.
* Drop-off and pick-up zones outside school gates in the vicinity of 126-128 Birkdale Road and 3-5 Salisbury Road, indicated by a purple painted kerb and signage. These zones will operate from 8.00am to 9.30am and 2.30pm to 3.30pm. During these times, parking will not be available as the intention is for parents to pull in to safely pick-up or drop-off children to school.
* Kerb build-outs along Birkdale Road and Salisbury Road to reduce lane width to slow down vehicle speeds around the school and to prevent illegal parking.
* Street art within kerb build-outs and on the footpath with a specific theme chosen by Birkdale Primary School. This will complement the overall design scheme for the area by creating a clearly visible, vibrant and safe school zone.
